There are already 8 months since I joined Steemit - Here is what I realized so far
BY NICOLAE PAVELEAN| FEBRUARY 28th, 2018
When I first started my blog, honestly speaking I did it because I was interested to make money out of cryptocurrencies and that was one of the blockchains that was most attractive for me at that time. I found about Steemit by mistake, and I've noticed how a lot of people were making huge amounts of money by just writing an article where they introduced themselves. In that moment I said to myself: I am going to try this blog as in the past I was writing on a Blogspot Blogger Platform anyway, without getting any income out of it, and I liked it.
Now it could be the right time to summarize a couple of things that I realized within this 8 months on this platform.
So I landed here on and after a couple of weeks only, I realized that money are not that easy to be earned in spite of what I was seeing at the beginning. Earning lots of money on good quality content is that real as it seemed at the beginning and only those with great power can get lots of money here. Organic earning and organic progress here on Steemit is only happening in few instances as many times the votes are purchased or they spin around closed circles of people who know each other and have great Steem Power. I know that this might disappoint many of you, especially if you are relatively new around here, but there is still hope, don't worry.
The main secret that I realized a little late maybe, is that the power and reputation is the one that matters the most.
In order to have good progress here you need to bring attention over your blog and one of the greatest reason for attention is to be a powerful and influential dolphin or whale here.
With great power comes also great responsibility so even if you have a great power, you still need to be active and active in the real sense. To bring attention over your blog you will have to pay attention on others blog as well so the key of this, is the constant interaction with people.
A couple of advises that I want to share with you
Interact with people from your area of interest, people from your own country, especially if there is a national steemit community, staying active within that community can help more than you can imagine.
Interacting on all sorts of social medias like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and others, to talk about your experience around Steemit is a tool that you can use in your advantage.
Create connections with people like you, that have the same interests like you and as much as possible that have a significant Steem Power. Help each other with advises, up votes and promotions and stay in contact all the time.
Invest most of your earnings in Steem Power, as the future of Steemit and Steem looks bright and you never know how much your up vote and your savings can worth some day. If I would have invested all that I earned so far, my progress on steemit now, would be way much smoother. That is one of the mistakes that I regret, but it is not too late even now.
Write every now and then, about your experience with steemit and what you've learned so far, anything related to the STEEM blockchain get a lots of love from Steemit big whales.
Progress and earning money on Steemit is not that easy as it first looks but, you can do it if you work hard and take in consideration the key points. I will stop here with what I've realized so far as the time does not allow me to write more, but I intend to make a series of articles of this, sharing my experience with you and helping you to learn things that I wish someone would have revealed earlier to me.
